﻿34-6 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS [VOL. 47 



No. 179. "Variety" of No. 177. 



This is referred to Motacilla sylvia Linn^us, by Pallas, 

 in his Zoographia Rosso-Asiatica, 1, p. 488. 

 No. 222. Meleagris mitrata Pallas. 



Pallas here uses Mcehring's generic term Meleagris for the 

 Guinea fowls. Numida of Linnaeus dates from the 

 " Mus. Adolph. Frid.," 1764, p. 27, which was not pub- 

 lished at the time Pallas wrote. 

 The present species was later described in detail and figured 

 by the same author (Spic. Zool., 1, fasc. iv, 1767, p. 18, 

 pi. 3), under the name Numida mitrata. 

 Numida mitrata (Pallas). 

 No. 223. Meleagris cristata Pallas. 



Better known as Numida cristata Pallas, 1767. The

 to west Africa.
